Pakistan tours of Australia and New Zealand: Extras - the new Pakistan pain point?

[MenInG]

So far

39 Extras:

b 1, lb 17, w 13, nb 8

Have Pakistan added another handicap to their situation?

What is the coaches role in this?

 

[MenInG]

So frustrating!

Pak bowlers doing the hard work but no balls and wides etc.

Final tally in the first inning:

41 (b 1, lb 17, w 14, nb 9, p 0)

Absolutely unacceptable.

 

[MenInG]

Bit odd - one ball from Starc with the new ball should have been wide.

 

[BouncerGuy]

2nd innings: 18 extras till now (b 0, lb 11, w 1, nb 6, p 0)

What is going on here.

 

[MenInG]

Extras a huge issue - Pak bowling coach needs to do some serious work.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

nothing new, always an issue for pakistan team as its not on their priority list to get it resolved.

 

[Sher Khan]

Well, Umar Gul himself used to bowl a lot of wides and no balls too.

 

[MenInG]

28 (b 12, lb 5, w 9, nb 2, p 0)

After one day and in score of 187 by Australia

Still a very high number but thankfully NBs are down

Out of the 12 byes, most of these are because of the bowlers rather than the wicket-keeper.

 

[Buffet]

52 extra here, The second highest score for Aus.

We could have really had Aus on the ropes if it wasn't for the extras. Our bolwers need to realise this is Australia, not the subcontinent where they don't have to bang it in so short.

This extra run tally is the highest ever conceded in a Test innings at the MCG.

The extras will cost pakistan in the game 50+ extras is unacceptable.

 

[Major]

I think you guys should not be counting the leg byes and byes

 

[MenInG]

I think you guys should not be counting the leg byes and byes

Us guys don't decide what an extra is.

Even if you take leg byes out, you still have 37 runs which should not have been given.

 

[shamaan]

What should it be classed as then ?

 

[The Bald Eagle]

From current situation it seems this will cost us.

 

[ElRaja]

most of the byes were wides, id be peeved if i was rizwan, the umps helped out pak by not calling em wides, cos that would have been a few extra runs. scattergun bowling on that pitch, a bit of discipline and aus would have scored 275.

 

[Asad T]

Pakistan trail by 54
We bowled 52 extras

I think they will be the difference between winning and and losing

 

[MenInG]

Aamer Jamal's no-ball problem could cost Pakistan dearly.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Aamer Jamal and Usama Mir are playing the 2nd T20 game against new Zealand. Jamal needs to work on his extras now. He bowls too many at wrong times that could cost Pakistan, the 2nd match as well. Hope so not many will be seen today.

I personally don't believe Jamal is ready as a main T20I bowler. Maybe as a 6th but then team combination has go be different.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Abbas bowled 2 wide balls and then got hit for 4 next ball. Not good.
